1DM.CONF(5) 386BSD Programmer's Manual DM.CONF(5) 2 3NNAAMMEE 4 ddmm..ccoonnff - dm configuration file 5 6DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN 7 The dm.conf file is the configuration file for the dm(8) program. It 8 consists of lines beginning with one of three keywords, ``badtty'', 9 ``game'', and ``time''. All other lines are ignored. 10 11 Any tty listed after the keyword ``badtty'' may not have games played on 12 it. Entries consist of two white-space separated fields: the string 13 ``badtty'' and the ttyname as returned by ttyname(3). For example, to 14 keep the uucp dialout, ``tty19'', from being used for games, the entry 15 would be: 16 17 badtty /dev/tty19 18 19 Any day/hour combination listed after the keyword ``time'' will disallow 20 games during those hours. Entries consist of four white-space separated 21 fields: the string ``time'', the unabbreviated day of the week and the 22 beginning and ending time of a period of the day when games may not be 23 played. The time fields are in a 0 based, 24-hour clock. For example, 24 the following entry allows games playing before 8AM and after 5PM on Mon- 25 days. 26 27 time Monday 8 17 28 29 Any game listed after the keyword ``game'' will set parameters for a spe- 30 cific game. Entries consist of five white-space separated fields: the 31 keyword ``game'', the name of a game, the highest system load average at 32 which the game may be played, the maximum users allowed if the game is to 33 be played, and the priority at which the game is to be run. Any of these 34 fields may start with a non-numeric character, resulting in no game limi- 35 tation or priority based on that field. The game "default" controls the 36 settings for any game not otherwise listed, and must be the last ``game'' 37 entry in the file. Priorities may not be negative. For example, the 38 following entries limits the game ``hack'' to running only when the sys- 39 tem has 10 or less users and a load average of 5 or less; all other games 40 may be run any time the system has 15 or less users. 41 42 game hack 5 10 * 43 game default * 15 * 44 45FFIILLEESS 46 /etc/dm.conf The dm(8) configuration file. 47 48SSEEEE AALLSSOO 49 setpriority(2), ttyname(3), dm(8) 50 514.2 Berkeley Distribution May 10, 1991 2 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67
